What's wrong with asking for a minimum of a bachelors in a technical field?

Most jobs I have applied for required a 4 degree and some did prefer a
masters. Seems to be happening more and more these days. Matter of fact
the sole reason I have been doing contract work for 6+ years for the same
company is because they require a 4 year degree and I am a year or two away
Wow... if you have been contracting with them for 6 years only because you
did not have your degree. Not cool. I would look into that

Most big companies pay people based upon their education level combined with
other factors. So if you lack pieces of what is required then your pay
grade goes down. I would make a significant amount less if I took a full
time job without a 4 year degree(I have a 2 year one, but that is

My only point was that I was surprised that you were limited by a company
you'd worked for for 6+ years.
I would think that after a few years, they would want to make the investment
in you as an employee.

I would have thought the same but experience has taught me otherwise.
Looking around some I have learned this is not the only big company with

Something else that happens is that HR people who expect to get a lot of
applications for a given job will include the educational requirement just
to cut down on applicants, or as an easy means to rule applicants out
without reading more than the education section of their resume. While this

If you want to go through life only able to discuss what you saw during
NASCAR on tv yesterday, and what you know in computing, then yes, you don't

And lest any argumentational stone be unturned, I'll point out that you can
still be well-educated and informed without a post-secondary degree, or even
a high school diploma - in the Internet age it's all about the person

A lot of kids coming out of high school rarely have a real idea of
